The Liquid Detergent Insert is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It is a small but important compartment that holds and dispenses precisely dosed amounts of liquid detergent during cycles. Located inside the detergent dispenser drawer, the liquid insert helps ensure the correct concentration of detergent is released.
Causes of a bad liquid detergent insert can include cracked or broken plastic from repeated use, hardened plastic that no longer flexes properly to release detergent or damage to dispenser shutter mechanisms that control flow.
Symptoms of a bad liquid detergent insert include:
- Improper or uneven dispensing of detergent into the wash
- Over or under-sudsing due to too much or too little detergent
- Residual detergent left in the insert compartment
- Reduced cleaning ability due to incorrect dosing
This genuine GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
